Thanks a lot ! The best simple explanation I found about how to start debugging in Java. Clear, concise, straight to the point!

Glad to hear you liked it! Debuggers can be very useful for sure

[@matthewlewington2470]

How have i been missing this for years of my life

[@zomssingh8744]

Thank you so much, you have explained it in a very simple way. I had checked many videos but they had made it very complex. Thank you once again

You're welcome! Glad to hear this was helpful for you

Fantastic tutorial for how to use the IntelliJ Debugger, Will! You have awesome examples. I like how you show alternatives to the common use of tossing print statements around in code- this is a much better way of troubleshooting

[@willtollefson]

Thanks! Its always surprising to me that there isn't more focus in tutorials about code debugging tips

[@thomasszkoda948]

Thanks for sharing your insight, Will! I am a beginner Java programmer and I honestly didn't know how to use the debugger, so I didn't touch it. But, after watching your video, I want to use it more often. Keep up the good work!

[@willtollefson]

Thanks for the feedback! I did the same thing when I was learning Java initially and am glad I decided to take the plunge on learning about debuggers :)

[@seeyouagainv]

Thanks a lot ❤ I used to rely on logging and print statement 😅

[@willtollefson]

Same here - print statements used to be my only debugging method initially

[@KianBrose]

After years of using print statements, finally get to use the debugger

[@willtollefson]

Awesome!
